Stabbing suspect arrested in Columbus

The suspect in a Jan. 11 stabbing on East Second Street was arrested in Columbus during the weekend.

Ruben L. Reeves, 37, who was wanted on a single count of felonious assault and thought to be in the Columbus area, was picked up by Columbus police, said Bud Lytle, public information officer for the Chillicothe Police Department.

Lytle confirmed Reeves was arrested and taken to the Franklin County Jail, but he said he didn't know further details of how he was brought into custody.

The charge stemmed from a 7:27 a.m. call to 188 E. Second St., where Joshua Thomas, 29, had been stabbed several times in the abdomen, police reported. Thomas was taken to Adena Medical Center and then to Grant Medical Center in Columbus for treatment of serious but not life-threatening injuries.

The stabbing occurred after Thomas and Reeves allegedly argued about money, Lytle said.
